About this map

Stuart Place and the cattle-ranching outposts of Schupbachs Ranch and Harrel Ranch anchor this landscape in Brewster County. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, most notably the seasonal flows of San Francisco Cr, Cow Cr, and Maxon Cr. These watercourses carve through the topography, forming significant landforms such as Beef Canyon and Kellogg Canyon in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map documents the enduring infrastructure of West Texas ranching at the start of the 21st century, showing the isolation and specific land management patterns required in this arid environment where named landmarks often center on reliable water or family holdings.
